FOREWORD 

The  purpose  of  this  bulletin  is  to  compile  such  data  pertaining 
to  the  Southern  Illinois  State  Normal  University  as  may  be  of 
interest  and  value,  not  merely  at  the  present  time,  but  more  espec- 
ially for  future  readers,  when  many  details,  now  at  hand,  would  be 
difficult  to  obtain ;  for  one  of  the  derelictions  of  many  people  is  the 
lamentable  lack  of  permanent  and  reliable  records  of  significant 
events,  and  of  the  persons  who  figured  in  those  events. 

Doubtless  an  embarrassing  number  of  errors  have  found  their 
way  into  these  few  pages  thru  one  cause  and  another;  and  items 
of  real  worth  have  been  overlooked,  due  in  part  to  the  weakness 
of  the  human  memory  and  to  the  lack  of  proper  record  being 
made  at  the  time  of  their  occurrence. 

The  author  of  this  bulletin  acknowledges,  with  much  gratitude, 
his  indebtedness  to  the  many  friends  who  have  kindly  supplied 
much  valuable  information  which  could  not  otherwise  have  been 
obtained;  to  the  History  of  Jackson  County  and  to  the  early 
pages  of  the  "Anniversary  Souvenir"  published  in  connection 
with  the  "Quarter  Centennial"  of  the  Institution,  which  was 
observed  in  an  elaborate  program  during  the  Commencement  Week 
of  June  1899.

A  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 

OF  THE 

SOUTHERN  ILLINOIS  STATE  NORMAL 
UNIVERSITY 

The  people  of  this  republic  are  justly  proud  of  their  public 
school  systems  and  of  their  institutions  of  higher  learning.  The 
history  of  each  of  these  two  classes  of  schools  reveals  the  true 
spirit  of  the  American  civilization;  it  exhibits  a  rational  basis  for 
a  nation's  growth  and  perpetuity,  as  it  provides  for  an  enlightened 
citizenship. 

The  enormous  wealth  annually  poured  into  the  public  and 
institutional  treasuries  for  these  sources  of  enlightenment  and 
culture  indicates,  in  some  measure  at  least,  the  estimate  our  people 
place  upon  the  proper  training  and  evolution  of  the  powers  of  her 
children  and  youth,  in  order  that  they  may  be  thoroly  equipped 
for  the  duties  and  relationships  of  life,  realizing  in  some  sense  the 
responsibility  of  one  generation  to  provide  the  best  conditions 
possible  for  the  one  to  follow. 

Such  being  the  case,  an  historical  account  of  any  one  of  these 
institutions  should  be  of  more  than  passing  interest,  especially  to 
its  immediate  friends  who  know  somewhat  of  its  career,  to  those 
who  may  have  been  its  beneficiaries  and  to  those  who  may  be  in 
the  coming  years.  There  are  reasons  why  this  is  peculiarly  true 
of  a  typical  normal  school  for  its  special  function  is  to  prepare 
those  who  are  to  be  the  special  factors  in  the  education  of  the 
people.  It  may  not  be  irrelevant  to  the  protest  against  the  unwar- 
ranted use  of  the  term  normal  by  those  who  appropriate  it  for  its 
commercial  value,  since  they  seem  to  have  but  little  claim  for  its 
use,  save  the  prestige  it  may  afford  the  school.  The  "Summer 
Normals,"  not  yet  wholly  extinct  in  some  parts  of  the  state,  is  an 
example  of  its  unfair  application. 

The  "Prairie  State"  may  well  boast  of  the  provision  she  has 
made  for  this  special  training  of  her  actual  and  prospective  teach- 
ers, having  now  five  well  equipped  state  normal  schools,  receiving 
thru  the  last  General  Assembly  the  liberal  amount  of  $1,427,750.00 
for  the  biennium,  extending  from  July  1,  1913,  to  June  30,  1915. 

S 


This  amount  seems  incredible  when  it  is  remembered  that  it  seemed 
almost  an  impossibility  to  secure  even  a  few  thousand  dollars  for 
the  older  normal  school  in  the  early  sixties  and  not  much  easier 
a  full  decade  later  when  the  Southern  Illinois  normal  school 
united  its  forces  with  those  of  her  older  sister  in  pleading  for 
appropriations. 

A  PRETENTIOUS  TITLE 

The  question  is  frequently  asked,  why  are  the  two  older  schools 
called  normal  universities?  In  brief,  the  answer  is  as  follows: 
The  distinguished  title  was  given  to  the  older  one  that  she  might 
participate  in  the  use  of  an  educational  fund,  set  apart  by  the 
general  government  which  amounted  to  nearly  thirteen  thousand 
dollars  per  annum.  When  the  Southern  Illinois  normal  school 
came  into  being  its  friend  insisted  that  it  should  have  a  no  less 
pretentious  name  and  also  share  in  the  interest  on  the  College  and 
Seminary  Fund.  In  establishing  the  three  later  schools  it  was 
decided  to  give  them  names  similar  to  those  of  other  state  normal 
schools  and  more  in  keeping  with  the  purpose  of  the  institutions. 

EARLY  AGITATION 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  had  its  statutory  birth  by  an  act  of 
the  legislature  in  1869,  the  bill  receiving  the  approval  of  Governor 
John  M.  Palmer  on  April  20.  Previous  to  this  date  however,  the 
friends  of  education  in  the  southern  part  of  Illinois  realized  the 
need  of  a  training  school  for  teachers  and  were  discussing  the 
matter  privately  and  at  public  gatherings.  From  a  chapter  in  the 
"History  of  Jackson  County,"  prepared  by  Professor  S.  E.  Har- 
wood  in  1878,  it  appears  that  at  a  meeting  of  teachers  in  an  insti- 
tute held  at  Salem  in  the  spring  of  1868,  it  was  decided  to  make 
a  formal  call  for  a  meeting  to  be  held  in  Centralia  in  the  follow- 
ing September.  A  few  days  later  a  similar  action  was  taken  by 
a  company  of  teachers  at  Carbondale,  apparently  without  any 
knowledge  of  the  action  taken  at  Salem,  calling  a  meeting  to  be 
held  at  Carbondale  in  the  latter  part  of  May  or  early  part  of 
June.  The  meeting  was  held  on  June  24,  resulting  in  plans  for 
a  general  meeting  to  be  held  in  Centralia  on  September  1.  It  is 
claimed  that  this  initial  meeting  at  Carbondale  was  largely  due 
to  the  enthusiastic  efforts  of  the  Rev.  Clark  Braden,  then  President 
of  the  Southern  Illinois  College  then  in  operation  at  Carbondale, 
located  on  the  site  now  occupied  by  the  Lincoln  School  building. 


It  is  also  stated  that  Dr.  Robert  Allyn,  then  President  of  Me. 
Kendree  College,  wrote  the  call  for  the  general  meeting  which  was 
held  in  Centralia.  The  account  further  states  that  nearly  one 
thousand  persons  were  present  at  the  meeting  in  Carbondale,  repre- 
senting quite  every  county  in  the  southern  end  of  the  state. 

THE  FIRST  LEGISLATIVE  ENACTMENT 

The  Centralia  meeting  resulted  in  the  appointment  of  a  com- 
mittee to  present  the  matter  before  the  next  General  Assembly, 
which  was  to  meet  the  following  January.  This  was  effectually 
done,  consummating  in  the  passage  of  a  bill  appropriating  $75,000 
for  establishing  a  normal  school  in  southern  Illinois.  The  bill  was 
approved  by  Governor  Palmer,  March  9,  1869. 

In  due  time  the  following  persons  were  named  by  the  governor 
as  "Charter  Trustees:"  Captain  David  Hurd  of  Cairo,  General 
Eli  Boyer  of  Olney,  Colonel  Thomas  M.  Harris  of  Shelbyville, 
Rev.  Elihu  J.  Palmer  of  Carbondale,  brother  of  the  governor,  and 
Samuel  J.  Plannagan  of  Benton. 

THE  LOCATION  OF  THE  INSTITUTION 

It  was  no  unusual  thing  that  much  interest  centered  about  the 
matter  of  just  where  in  southern  Illinois,  should  the  new  educa- 
tional institution  be  located.  The  contestants  were  Pana,  Vandalia, 
Olney,  Carlyle,  Centralia,  Tamaroa,  Duquoin  and  Carbondale. 
Intense  interest  developed  and  the  strife  became  disagreeably 
warm;  so  much  so  that  after  over  forty  four  years  have  passed 
there  still  survive  traces  of  the  lack  of  genuine  brotherly  love.  To 
secure  this  prize,  Carbondale  assumed  an  obligation  which  has 
proved  a  burden  till  the  present  time. 

The  particular  site  chosen  is  a  tract  of  about  twenty  acres 
lying  at  the  southern  limits  of  the  town  and  adjacent  to  the  right 
of  way  of  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad,  on  the  west  side  thereof. 
It  may  be  appropriate  to  add  that  Carbondale  had  a  warm  friend 
in  the  person  of  the  late  General  John  A.  Logan,  whose  residence 
was  at  that  time  in  Carbondale. 

While  the  appropriation  made  by  the  Legislature  was  but 
$75,000.00  the  little  town  of  Carbondale  and  other  friends  in 
Jackson  County  contributed  enough  to  authorize  the  Board  of 
Trustees  to  let  the  contract  for  the  building  amounting  to  $210,000. 
The  plans  and  specifications  were  made  by  Thomas  Walsh  of  St. 
Louis. 


8 

The  corner  stone  was  laid  on  May  17,  1870  with  very  impressive 
exercises,  under  the  direction  of  the  Masonic  Fraternity;  Grand 
Master,  H.  G.  Reynolds  conducting  the  ceremonies.  The  report 
states  that  not  less  than  fifteen  thousand  people  were  present  on 
that  occasion.  President  Richard  Edwards  of  the  other  normal 
school  and  Dr.  Robert  Allyn  were  the  principal  speakers  in  addi- 
tion to  Mr.  Reynolds. 

DEATH  OF  CONTRACTOR 

During  the  erection  of  the  building,  the  contractor,  Mr.  James 
Mr.  Campbell  was  almost  instantly  killed  by  the  falling  of  a  large 
timber.  Because  of  some  features  of  the  terms  of  the  contract,  the 
death  of  Mr.  Campbell  caused  some  difficulty  in  completing  the 
building.  To  meet  this  emergency  the  state  undertook  to  finish 
the  task.  Consequently  the  Board  of  Charter  Trustees  was  aban- 
doned and  in  their  stead  six  Building  Commissioners  were 
appointed,  viz.  John  Wood  of  Cairo,  Elihu  Palmer  of  Carbondale, 
Hiram  Walker  of  Jonesboro,  R.  H.  Sturgiss  of  Yandalia,  Nathan 
Bishop  of  Marion,  and  F.  M.  Malone  of  Anna.  On  account  of 
these  unexpected  delays  and  new  conditions  the  entire  cost  of  the 
building  and  its  furnishings  amounted  to  nearly  $265,000.00. 

STYLE  OP  ARCHITECTURE 

Since  this  building  was  destroyed,  a  brief  description  thereof 
may  not  be  amiss  at  this  time.  The  style  of  architecture  was  of 
the  Norman  type;  the  walls  were  of  red  brick  trimmed  with  red 
sandstone  of  two  colors.  The  extreme  length  was  215  feet,  the 
extreme  width  was  109  feet,  four  stories  in  height,  the  first  being 
14  feet,  the  second  18  feet,  the  third  22  feet  and  the  fourth,  or 
mansard,  19  feet.  Their  uses  were  as  follows :  the  first  for  janitor's 
rooms,  heating  apparatus,  chemical  laboratory  and  a  carpenter's 
shop;  the  second  and  third  for  offices,  class  rooms  and  a  large 
study  hall;  the  fourth  for  the  library,  museum,  two  literary  halls 
and  an  assembly  hall. 

Anticipating  the  completion  of  the  building  in  a  short  time, 
Governor  John  L.  Beveridge,  in  1873,  appointed  the  following 
persons  to  constitute  the  first  regular  board  which  should,  as  their 
first  duty,  select  a  faculty  of  instruction,  and  provide  suitable 
furniture,  apparatus,  and  such  other  equipment  as  they  deemed 
necessary:  Edwin  S.  Russell  of  Mt.  Carmel,  James  Robarts  of 
Carbondale,  Lewis  M.  Phillips  of  Nashville,  Thomas  S.  Ridgway 


of  Shawneetown,  and  Jacob  W.  Wilkin  of  Marshall.  The  board 
was  organized  as  follows:  President,  Thomas  S.  Ridgway;  Secre- 
tary, Dr.  Robarts;  Treasurer,  John  G.  Campbell;  Registrar, 
Charles  W.  Jerome. 

By  an  act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1889  the  Superintendent 
of  public  Instruction  became  ex-officio  member  of  the  board  of 
trustees  thereafter. 

DEDICATION  AND  OPENING 

The  completed  building  was  dedicated  on  July  1,  1874.  The 
principal  speakers  were  Dr.  Richard  Edwards  who  came  to  take 
the  place  of  the  State  Superintendent,  Dr.  Newton  Bateman,  who 
was  unable  to  be  present  on  account  of  illness,  President  Charles 
H.  Fowler  of  Northwestern  University,  Dr.  Robert  Allyn  the 
newly  elected  president  of  the  institution,  Hon.  J.  J.  Bird  of  Cairo, 
and  the  president  of  the  new  board  of  trustees,  Thos.  S.  Ridgway. 

On  the  following  day,  July  2,  the  doors  of  the  institution  were 
thrown  open  to  the  young  people  of  the  state,  especially  of  the 
southern  part,  in  a  special  session  of  four  weeks  length.  The  first 
regular  session  was  opened  on  the  sixth  of  September,  when  the 
school  was  hopefully  launched  upon  its  career  of  usefulness. 

The  members  of  the  faculty  were  enthusiastic  and  co-operative 
in  every  good  word  and  work;  the  people  of  Carbondale  were 
responsive  to  every  call  for  assistance  and  sympathetic  support,  a 
condition  that  does  not  always  prevail  in  older  institutions  when 
local  interests  become  more  varied  and  complex. 

BURNING  OF  THE  FIRST  BUILDING 

To  one,  not  on  the  ground  and  not  familiar  with  the  conditions 
then  existing  in  Southern  Illinois,  it  is  difficult  to  imagine  the 
feeling  of  the  people  toward  the  new  institution  that  meant  so 
much  to  the  present  and  future  generations  in  intellectual  and 
social  attainments.  The  building  was  the  pride  of  the  town  and 
of  the  entire  state.  But  its  glory  was  of  short  duration;  for  on 
the  afternoon  of  November  26,  1883  it  was  discovered  to  be  on  fire 
at  the  south  end  in  the  mansard  roof.  The  wind  being  in  the 
north,  the  burning  was  less  rapid  than  it  otherwise  would  have 
been,  giving  more  time  for  saving  the  furniture,  apparatus  and 
the  valuable  library,  which  had  been  selected  with  much  care  by 
President  Allyn.  By  the  heroic  efforts  of  the  student  body,  the 
faculty  and  the  citizens  of  the  town,  nearly  all  the  valuable  material 


10 

was  rescued  from  the  flames  except  that  in  the  museum,  which  was 
indeed  very  creditable  for  one  so  few  years  in  collecting. 

Notwithstanding  the  great  loss  and  paralyzing  effect  of  so 
serious  a  catastrophe,  the  stricken  people,  one  and  all,  rallied  to 
the  emergency  by  calling  a  mass  meeting  the  same  evening  and 
matured  plans  for  carrying  on  the  school,  with  a  loss  of  only  the 
following  day,  Wednesday,  as  Thursday  was  Thanksgiving  and 
no  school  was  to  be  held  on  Friday.  By  the  following  Monday 
morning  a  sufficient  number  of  halls,  offices,  and  churches  in  the 
town  had  been  tendered  the  institution  to  enable  the  school  to 
resume  its  regular  work. 

THE  TEMPORARY  BUILDING 

Thru  the  timely  liberality  of  the  citizens  of  Carbondale,  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  and  others,  a  temporary  building  was  promptly 
erected  on  the  campus  and  ready  for  use  by  the  following  Febru- 
ary. This  was  a  temporary  home  for  the  school  while  it  awaited 
the  action  of  the  next  General  Assembly  which  would  not  meet 
in  regular  session  till  January  1885,  more  than  a  year  off. 

This  improvised  home  was  constructed  in  the  form  of  a  Greek 
cross,  one  story  in  height,  the  center  being  used  for  the  assembly 
hall  and  study  room  and  the  arms  for  recitation  rooms  in  such 
manner  that  all  departments  were  provided  for.  It  was  indeed 
a  unique  structure,  having  its  limitations  and  imperfections,  but 
it  served  to  keep  the  school  intact  and  in  running  order  till  the 
Legislature  met  and  made  provision  for  rebuilding.  Had  the  school 
disbanded,  the  chances  for  an  appropriation  for  rebuilding  would 
doubtless  have  been  endangered,  as  at  that  time  the  normal  schools 
of  Illinois  were  not  on  as  good  footing  as  they  are  at  the  present 
time. 

The  experiences  and  lessons  taught  by  this  seeming  calamity 
had  their  compensations,  and  are  remembered  with  much  interest 
by  those  who  participated  therein. 

THE  RESTORED  BUILDING 

The  34th  General  Assembly,  which  convened  in  the  early  part 
of  January  1885,  responded  promptly  and  liberally  to  the  call  for 
an  appropriation  with  which  to  rebuild,  granting  $152,065.00  for 
said  purpose.  It  had  been  determined  that  the  foundation  and 
the  walls  of  the  first  story  were  practically  uninjured  and  by  a 
small  expense  would  be  as  good  as  they  ever  were,  thus  saving  a 


11 

large  part  of  what  otherwise  would  be  necessary  to  restore  the 
building.  In  this  respect  the  board  established  a  precedent  which 
has  guided  their  successors,  with  but  few  exceptions,  in  their 
requests  for  funds,  that  of  limiting  their  askings  to  the  amount 
necessary  to  accomplish  the  purpose  in  mind;  not  planning  to 
consume  the  amount  appropriated  in  partially  completing  a  build- 
ing, and  afterward  going  before  the  legislature  for  another  request 
for  funds.  In  this  particular  instance  a  small  balance  was  returned 
to  the  state  treasury. 

The  plans  and  specifications  were  prepared  by  Mr.  Isaac 
Taylor  of  St.  Louis.  The  contract  was  let  to  Messrs.  Parry  & 
Deal  of  Peoria.  The  Supt.  of  Construction  was  Mr.  Isaac  Eapp  of 
Carbondale.  The  dedicatory  exercises  were  held  on  February  24, 
1887,  the  principal  speakers  were  Governor  Eichard  J.  Oglesby, 
who  had  approved  the  bill  on  June  27,  1885,  Thomas  S.  Eidgway 
and  President  Eobert  Allyn.  In  many  respects  the  new  structure 
is  superior  to  the  former  one. 

There  was  a  feeling  of  great  rejoicing  when  the  school  entered 
into  its  new  home,  after  many  months  of  cramped  quarters  and 
serious  inconveniences.  So  significant  was  this  occurrence  in  the 
life  of  the  institution  that  a  large  portion  of  the  history  of  the 
school  dates  either  "before"  or  "after"  the  "fire." 

There  were  some  serious  objections  to  having  a  fourth  story 
to  the  first  building,  and  when  the  fire  had  its  origin  in  the  mansard 
part  it  was  no  difficult  matter  to  have  the  style  of  architecture 
so  altered  as  to  eliminate  the  fourth  story  in  the  new  building. 
Retaining  the  foundation  walls,  the  general  contour  of  the  restored 
structure  is  necessarily  the  same,  but  the  roof  is  quite  unlike  the 
former  one. 

THE  SCIENCE  BUILDING 

In  the  course  of  a  few  years,  less  than  a  decade,  it  became 
necessary  to  make  more  ample  provision  for  the  ever  growing  needs 
of  the  school.  The  several  departments  of  science  were  needing 
larger  space  for  laboratory  facilities,  and  the  library  had  outgrown 
the  spacious  room  that  had  been  assigned  to  it.  To  meet  these 
demands  the  39th  General  Assembly  made  an  appropriation  of 
$40,000.00  for  the  erection  of  a  Science  building.  The  bill  was 
approved  by  Governor  John  P.  Altgeld  on  June  7,  1895.  The 
architect  for  this  building  was  Mr.  C.  Ward  Eapp  of  Chicago.  The 
contract  was  given  to  M.  T.  Lewman  &  Co.  of  Louisville,  Ky.  The 
corner  stone  "was  laid  by  the  Honorable  Owen  Scott,  Grand 


12 

Master  A.  F.  A.  M.,  State  of  Illinois,  July  21,  A.  D.  1896:— A. 
L.  5826."  This  building  was  dedicated  on  December  22,  1896.  The 
principal  speakers  were  the  president  of  the  board  of  trustees, 
Hon.  Charles  W.  Bliss,  President  H.  W.  Everest,  and  Judge  W. 
W.  Barr. 

THE  LIBRARY  BUILDING 

The  continued  growth  of  the  school  in  the  enrichment  of  its 
courses  of  study  and  the  needs  of  the  library  in  a  few  years  made 
it  necessary  to  consider  the  matter  of  more  room.  At  the  sugges- 
tion of  the  president  of  the  board,  Judge  S.  P.  Wheeler,  it  was 
decided  to  make  an  effort  to  secure  an  appropriation  for  the  erec- 
tion of  a  library  building.  In  compliance  with  the  appeal,  the  43rd 
General  Assembly  set  apart  $25,000.00  for  this  purpose.  The  Bill 
was  approved  by  Gov.  Richard  Yates  on  May  15,  1903 ;  Mr.  C. 
Ward  Rapp  was  asked  to  prepare  the  plans  and  specifications ;  his 
father,  Mr.  Isaac  Rapp,  was  employed  to  superintend  the  construc- 
tion; the  contract  was  given  to  the  Southern  Illinois  Construction 
Company  of  East  St.  Louis. 

The  building  was  dedicated  on  June  6,  1904,  the  principal 
address  being  delivered  by  Judge  Wheeler.  Because  of  his  deep 
interest  in  the  institution  for  so  many  years,  and  his  special  inter- 
est in  the  new  home  for  the  library,  his  colleagues  named  this,  the 
third  building  in  the  plant,  in  his  honor.  Thru  the  kindness  of 
Mrs.  Wheeler  a  very  excellent  likeness  of  Mr.  Wheeler  was  given 
to  the  library,  a  very  acceptable  and  appropriate  contribution  to 
the  walls  that  are  most  dear  to  the  student  body,  to  the  faculty 
and  to  all  who  frequent  its  precincts. 

The  General  plan  of  this  building  provided  a  second  story  of 
steel  stacks  and  glass  floor  so  as  to  provide  for  almost  a  double 
amount  of  shelf  room.  The  47th  General  Assembly  made  an  appro- 
priation of  $2,000.00  for  this  purpose  as  the  capacity  of  the  lower 
floor  had  been  reached.  These  latter  steel  stacks  were  placed  by 
the  Library  Bureau  people  of  Chicago.  With  the  present  equip- 
ment it  will  be  a  number  of  years  before  additional  shelf  room  will 
be  needed. 

THE  MODEL  SCHOOL  BUILDING 

From  1887  till  1909  the  Training  School  was  housed  in  the 
lower  story  of  the  main  building  under  conditions  that  never  were 
satisfactory  because  of  insufficient  light,  imperfect  ventilation  and 
unsanitary  conditions  in  general.  In  order  to  remove  these  objec- 
tionable features  the  45th  General  Assembly  was  asked  to  make  an 
appropriation  of  $50,000.00  for  the  erection  of  a  special  home  for 


13 

this  very  important  department  of  the  institution.  Said  bill  was 
passed,  and  received  the  approval  of  Governor  Charles  S.  Deneen 
on  May  27,  1907.  The  contract  was  let  to  the  Hanson  Brothers  of 
Chicago.  The  plans  and  specifications  were  prepared  by  the  state 
architect,  William  Carbyss  Zimmerman;  the  Superintendent  of 
Construction  was  Mr.  Walter  W.  Friedline.  Because  of  the  parti- 
cular character  of  work  to  be  done  here  it  was  fitting  that  the 
corner  stone  should  be  laid  by  a  representative  of  the  Alumni 
Association.  The  member  selected  to  perform  this  delightful  task 
was  a  member  of  the  valedictorian  of  the  first  graduating  class, 
Miss  Mary  Wright,  of  Cobden,  Illinois.  These  exercises  were  held 
on  June  4,  1908. 

This  building  was  dedicated  with  a  special  program  on  January 
11,  1909.  Superintendent  Francis  G.  Blair,  Hon.  William  F. 
Bundy,  President  of  the  Board,  and  Professor  Samuel  E.  Harwood, 
Superintendent  of  the  Training  School  were  the  speakers. 

A  special  appropriation  of  $1,000.00  was  made  by  the  following 
Legislature  for  furnishing  the  building. 

It  was  a  very  appropriate  expression  of  the  esteem  in  which 
Dr.  Robert  Allyn  is  still  held  in  the  affections  of  the  people  to 
name  this  home  of  the  training  school  the  "Allyn  Building." 

BAYLISS  FIELD  AND  GRAND  STAND 

Among  other  contributions  made  in  order  to  secure  the  normal 
school  at  Carbondale,  was  a  tract  of  land  containing  about  eleven 
acres  lying  just  east  of  the  public  school  property  and  extending 
to  the  city  limits  on  the  east.  Not  until  about  1900  was  there  any 
use  made  of  this  property.  The  demand  for  an  athletic  field  became 
sufficiently  strong  to  justify  the  expenditure  of  sufficient  funds 
to  put  this  tract  in  condition  for  use  in  the  way  indicated.  It 
was  enclosed  with  a  suitable  fence,  trees  were  planted  in  large 
numbers  next  to  the  outside  in  three  rows,  and  a  running  track 
was  constructed.  In  1905  a  cottage  was  built  on  the  premises 
as  a  home  of  one  of  the  janitors,  who  would  serve  as  care-taker 
of  the  entire  property.  In  1907  a  grand  stand  was  built  at  a  cost 
of  $1,000.00,  which  has  a  capacity  of  seating  1,000  people.  An 
explanation  of  the  naming  of  this  field  is  given  on  another  page. 

THE  WOMAN'S  BUILDING 

In  the  early  years  of  the  school  there  seemed  to  be  but  little 
difficulty  in  securing  satisfactory  boarding  places  for  the  students, 


14 

but  in  later  years  conditions  in  these  matters  had  so  changed  that 
the  housing  of  the  students  became  a  serious  problem,  which  in- 
creased with  the  years,  till  a  dormitory,  at  least  for  the  young 
women,  seemed  to  be  imperative.  The  first  attempt  to  secure  an 
appropriation  was  unsuccessful,  but  the  second  effort  secured  the 
passage  of  a  bill  setting  apart  $75,000.00,  a  reduction  of  $25,000.00 
from  the  amount  asked  for.  The  bill  was  approved  by  Governor 
Deneen,  May  27,  1911. 

Because  of  a  large  number  of  bills  for  new  buildings  having 
been  passed  by  the  47th  General  Assembly,  it  was  found  necessary 
to  defer  the  erection  of  some  of  them  till  the  second  year  of  the 
biennium.  The  normal  schools  were  thot  better  able  to  wait  than 
those  intended  to  accomodate  the  wards  of  the  commonwealth.  In 
due  time  the  plans  and  specifications  were  prepared  by  state  archi- 
tect, Mr.  Zimmerman,  the  contract  let  to  "The  Schmidt  Brothers 
Co."  of  Chicago,  with  Mr.  Walter  W.  Friedline  as  superintendent 
of  construction. 

Because  of  repeated  delays  and  disappointments  the  dormitory 
was  scarcely  ready  for  occupancy  at  the  opening  of  the  present 
school  year,  1913-1914 ;  but  under  the  circumstances  it  was  decided 
to  open  its  doors  to  the  young  ladies  without  further  delay.  Its 
appreciation  by  the  young  women  was  shown  by  their  eagerness 
to  enjoy  its  privileges  and  comforts  even  before  the  school  year 
opened.  In  a  short  time  all  the  rooms  were  taken  and  at  once  it 
became  the  center  of  the  social  life  of  the  institution,  and  sets  a 
standard  in  many  of  the  relationships  of  the  student. 

In  the  selection  of  an  appropriate  name  for  the  Woman's  Build- 
ing it  was  finally  decided  to  name  it  in  honor  of  the  noted  advocate 
of  "Woman  Suffrage"  and  other  phases  of  woman's  advancement, 
Susan  B.  Anthony.  Hereafter  much  of  the  life  of  the  Southern 
Illinois  Normal  University  will  center  in  and  around  "Anthony 
Hall." 

Anthony  Hall  was  formally  dedicated  on  the  afternoon  of 
October  23,  1913,  in  connection  with  the  installation  of  President 
Shryock,  an  account  of  which  appears  elsewhere,  the  principal 
speakers  being  Senator  Kent  E.  Keller,  Hon.  W.  W.  Williams,  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  Judge  W.  W.  Barr,  President 
of  the  Board,  Mrs.  Judge  Butler  of  Cairo,  and  President  Henry 
W.  Shryock.  The  occasion  was  one  of  unusual  interest  and  was 
enjoyed  by  a  large  concourse  of  students,  people  of  the  city  and 
from  many  surrounding  cities.  These  significant  and  enjoyable 


15 

exercises  were  concluded  in  the  evening  by  a  public  reception  held 
in  the  parlors  of  Anthony  Hall,  a  very  fitting  closing  of  the  day's 
program. 

BOARDS  OF  TRUSTEES 

As  stated  in  an  earlier  page,  the  bill  providing  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  institution  called  for  the  appointment  of  a  Board 
of  Charter  Trustees.  On  account  of  the  death  of  the  contractor 
and  some  serious  shrinkage  in  the  subscriptions  to  the  fund  which 
secured  the  location  of  the  school,  the  state  assumed  the  completion 
of  the  building  by  the  appointment  of  six  Building  Commissioners. 
Upon  the  completion  of  their  work  this  board  was  abandoned  and 
in  their  stead  a  regular  Board  of  Trustees  was  appointed,  who  with 
their  successors  and  subsequent  successors  from  term  to  term,  have 
served  the  state  till  the  present  time.  Their  names  and  dates  of 
appointment  and  retirement  are  as  follows:

THE  FACULTY 

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  Faculty  from  the  opening  of  the 
Institution  to  the  date  of  this  Bulletin,  April,  1914,  the  first 
eleven  constituting  the  faculty  for  the  first  three  years;  also,  the 
offices  held  in  the  faculty,  the  more  important  branches  taught, 
and  degrees  received,  either  before  coming  to  the  institution  or 
afterward.  Prior  to  1893  the  Annual  Catalog  did  not  publish  the 
degrees  held  by  members  of  the  faculty,  which  makes  it  very  diffi- 
cult at  this  time  to  obtain  reliable  data  on  this  matter ;  hence  some 
omissions  of  degrees  which  otherwise  would  be  given.

PERSONAL  MENTION 

It  would  be  a  source  of  much  pleasure  to  the  compiler  of  these 
notes  to  dwell  with  some  detail  upon  the  services  of  each  of  the 
different  members  of  the  several  Boards  of  Trustees,  and  of  the 
Faculties,  but  space  will  not  permit.  However,  he  takes  the  privi- 
lege of  making  brief  mention  of  the  officers  of  each  group  and  a 
few  others. 

PRESIDENTS  OF  THE  BOARDS 

By  consulting  the  full  list  of  trustees  it  will  be  observed  that 
the  Hon.  Thomas  S.  Ridgway  of  Shawneetown  was  the  first  to 
occupy  this  responsible  position,  being  appointed  in  the  latter  part 
of  1873  and  served  till  the  spring  of  1893;  his  retirement  along 
with  that  of  his  colleagues  being  due  to  a  change  of  state  adminis- 
tration. 

Mr.  Ridgway  possessed  many  qualities  that  rendered  him  an 
efficient  administrative  officer.  It  was  during  this  period  of  his 
life  that  he  served  one  term  as  state  treasurer.  Four  years  after 
his  retirement  from  the  board  he  was  tendered  a  reappointment 
thereon,  but  his  somewhat  impaired  health  and  extensive  business 


26 

interests  prompted  him  to  decline  the  honor  and  the  responsibility. 
He  died  not  long  after  this  date.  The  small  body  of  water  on  the 
campus  is  called  in  his  honor,  "Lake  Ridgway." 

Mr.  Ridgway  was  succeeded  by  the  Hon.  Charles  W.  Bliss  of 
Hillsboro,  who  also  made  an  excellent  officer  in  said  capacity.  It 
was  during  his  term  of  office  that  the  Science  building  was  erected 
and  equipped.  Upon  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Bliss  and  his  col- 
leagues, all  of  whom  were  appointed  by  Governor  Altgeld,  a  new 
board,  with  the  exception  of  the  State  Superintendent,  Mr.  Inglis, 
was  appointed  by  Governor  Tanner.  Judge  Samuel  P.  Wheeler 
of  Springfield,  who  had  served  on  the  board  from  1883  to  1893, 
was  chosen  by  his  associates  as  their  president,  which  position  he 
occupied  till  the  date  of  his  resignation  in  1906.  His  two  terms 
of  service  aggregated  seventeen  years.  In  recognition  of  his  long 
and  valuable  service  in  this  capacity  his  colleagues  on  the  board 
named  the  library  in  his  honor,  an  account  of  which  is  noted  on 
a  previous  page. 

Dr.  F.  C.  Vandervort  of  Bloomington,  who  had  been  a  mem- 
ber since  1899,  was  made  Judge  Wheeler's  successor  in  1906.  In 
this  capacity  he  served  till  1909 ;  making  a  period  of  ten  years  of 
faithful  labor  and  attention  to  the  needs  of  the  institution.  The 
doctor  took  a  deep  interest  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  school, 
very  rarely  missing  a  meeting  of  the  board. 

Upon  the  retirement  of  Dr.  Vandervort,  the  Hon.  William  F. 
Bundy  was  promoted  to  the  presidency.  Having  been  a  student 
of  the  school  at  the  time  of  the  burning  of  the  first  building, 
it  was  not  strange  that  he  manifested  unusual  interest  in  its 
welfare.  Upon  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Bundy  and  the  other 
members,  except  the  State  Superintendent,  in  1913,  a  new  board 
was  placed  in  charge,  and  Judge  W.  W.  Barr  of  Carbondale  was 
elected  President.  Having  taken  an  active  part  in  securing  favor- 
able legislation  for  the  institution  in  its  early  years,  and  later  in 
securing  the  appropriation  for  rebuilding,  after  the  fire,  it  was 
regarded  by  all  who  were  familiar  with  the  facts,  a  very  wise  and 
appropriate  selection,  and  they  anticipate  a  continuation  of  the 
prosperity  and  an  enlargement  of  the  usefulness  of  the  school. 

SECRETARIES  OF  THE  BOARDS 

Every  one  familiar  with  the  history  of  the  institution  would 
question  the  faithfulness  of  any  chronicle  of  its  affairs  and  its 
servants  were  not  some  little  space  given  to  the  local  members  of 
the  Board  who  gave  unstintingly  of  their  time  and  counsel  that 


27 

the  school  might  serve  the  state  wisely.  The  first  in  this  list  was 
Dr.  James  Kobarts,  a  member  of  the  first  board  to  take  charge  of 
the  institution  upon  the  completion  of  the  first  building,  and  to 
organize  the  work  of  the  school.  As  shown  in  the  list  of  trustees, 
Dr.  Robarts  was  the  local  member,  and  was  the  first  secretary. 
Being  a  professional  man  of  rare  attainments,  having  been  gradu- 
ated from  one  of  the  best  medical  colleges  of  the  country,  the 
Jefferson  of  Philadelphia,  his  ideals  were  above  the  ordinary. 
Naturally,  he  was  ambitious  for  the  new  school  and  was  in  favor 
of  its  being  in  fact  what  it  was  in  name,  a  university.  In  this 
he  was  disappointed.  His  service  in  the  army  as  surgeon  and  his 
extensive  practice  in  Southern  Illinois  gave  him  a  prestige  which 
was  of  great  value  to  the  school.  His  official  connection  with  the 
institution  continued  from  1873  to  1885,  a  period  of  twelve  years. 

Dr.  Robarts  was  succeeded  by  Captain  E.  J.  Ingersoll,  also  of 
Carbondale,  and  likewise  made  Secretary  of  the  board.  Mr. 
Ingersoll,  along  with  Judge  Barr,  Senator  Lemma  and  others,  was 
very  influential  in  securing  the  appropriation  of  $152,065.00  for 
rebuilding  after  the  fire.  During  the  progress  of  the  work,  Cap- 
tain Ingersoll  was  a  daily  visitor  at  the  building  and  gave  freely 
of  his  excellent  judgment  in  multitudes  of  occasions  when  it  was 
timely  counsel.  While  in  the  General  Assembly  in  1895,  Mr. 
Ingersoll  was  the  author  of  the  bill  authorizing  the  appropriation 
of  $40,000.00  for  the  erection  of  what  is  now  known  as  the  Science 
Building. 

During  the  construction  of  the  Library  Building  the  Captain 
was  again  a  member  of  the  Board  and  showed  the  same  unselfish 
spirit  in  watching  the  progress  of  the  work  he  had  exhibited  at 
all  other  times  when  his  advice  was  of  value  to  the  institution. 

As  indicated  above,  Mr.  Ingersoll  was  a  member  of  the  Board 
at  two  different  times,  the  first  extending  thru  eight  years,  the 
second  thru  five  years,  making  a  total  of  thirteen  years.  At  the 
close  of  his  first  term  he  was  succeeded  by  his  fellow  townsman, 
Mr.  Samuel  W.  Dunnaway  as  local  trustee.  During  his  term  of 
service,  the  Science  Building  was  added  to  the  plant  in  addition 
to  many  other  improvements.  Mr.  Dunnaway  was  no  exception 
in  the  matter  of  devotion  to  the  best  interest  of  the  school.  His 
successor  as  local  member  and  secretary,  was  the  late  Col.  Frank 
A.  Prickett,  whose  term  of  service  covered  three  years. 

Mr.  Hugh  Lauder  was  the  successor  to  Captain  Ingersoll  whose 
second  term  followed  that  of  Colonel  Prickett.  He  also,  was  secre- 
tary of  the  board  and  the  local  member.  During  Mr.  Lauder 's 


28 

term  of  eight  years  the  grand-stand  on  Bayliss  Field,  the  Allyn 
Building,  and  the  Woman's  building  were  added  to  the  rapidly 
growing  plant.  In  addition  to  these  acquisitions  the  state  farm 
of  nearly  sixty  acres  was  purchased.  It  was  thru  the  business 
sagacity  of  Mr.  Lauder  that  the  purchase  was  made  at  a  veiy  oppor- 
tune time  and  on  very  reasonable  terms.  While  he  was  interested 
in  all  phases  of  the  school's  prosperity,  he  was  more  deeply  con- 
cerned in  the  enlargement  and  development  of  the  Agricultural 
department,  and  retired  with  the  feeling  that  he  had  been  instru- 
mental in  establishing  one  of  the  most  important  departments  of 
the  Institution. 

THE  TREASURERS  OF  THE  BOARD 

Upon  an  examination  of  the  lists  of  trustees  and  their  officers  it 
will  be  noticed  that  those  who  have  served  as  custodians  of  the 
state's  funds  have  been  among  the  prominent  citizens  of  Carbon- 
dale. 

The  first  to  assume  this  responsible  task  was  Mr.  John  Gr. 
Campbell,  son  of  Mr.  James  M.  Campbell,  the  contractor  who  lost 
his  life  in  the  erection  of  the  building.  His  period  of  service 
extended  from  1874  to  1878.  The  funds  were  kept  by  the  banking 
firm  of  Richart  and  Campbell  who  were  leading  merchants  of 
Carbondale,  this  Mr.  Campbell  being  a  brother  of  the  treasurer. 
The  funds  of  the  institution,  issued  by  the  state  treasurer  by  quar- 
terly allowances,  were  kept  by  this  firm  till  the  summer  of  1895. 

Mr.  John  Campbell  was  followed  by  the  appointment  of  John 
S.  Bridges,  who  was  treasurer  from  1878  till  his  death  in  1890; 
one  year  longer  than  the  one  next  to  him  in  length  of  service. 
Mr.  Bridges  was  succeeded  by  Mr.  Samuel  T.  Brush  till  1893,  when 
Mr.  James  M.  Evans  was  appointed  treasurer  and  served  till  1897, 
the  close  of  Governor  Altgeld's  administration. 

Mr.  E.  K.  Porter  was  then  made  the  custodian  of  the  funds 
of  the  school,  and  remained  in  charge  till  1900,  when  Mr.  Harry 
R.  Searing  of  the  class  of  1887  was  made  his  successor.  Mr.  Sear- 
ing served  but  one  year,  when  Dr.  H.  C.  Mitchell  was  selected  as 
the  keeper  of  the  funds  from  1901  till  1905.  He  was  followed  by 
Mr.  Porter,  who  has  had  the  distinction  of  being  appointed  the 
second  time  to  the  important  position  of  treasurer,  and  also  of 
making  out  the  monthly  and  quarterly  reports  in  a  most  complete 
and  approved  form.  In  addition  to  this  he  gave  his  personal  atten- 
tion to  the  minutest  details  of  the  office,  and  the  courtesies  thereof 
to  members  of  the  faculty  and  others  who  had  business  relations 
with  the  treasurer. 


29 

Mr.  Porter  was  succeeded  by  Mr.  Charles  E.  Hamilton,  the 
present  incumbent,  who  will,  without  doubt,  preserve  the  dignity 
of  the  office. 

STATE  SUPERINTENDENTS 

It  would  be  a  grave  oversight,  indeed,  not  to  go  outside  the  list 
of  officials  of  the  boards  of  trustees  and  give  at  least  a  passing 
notice  of  the  state  superintendents,  who  by  virtue  of  their  office 
became  members  of  the  several  boards  of  trustees  of  state  educa- 
tional institutions,  under  the  act  of  the  legislature  of  1889.  It 
is  sad  to  note  that  the  only  person  now  living  who  has  occupied  that 
exalted  position  since  this  law  became  effective,  except  the  present 
incumbent,  is  the  Hon.  J.  H.  Freeman  of  Aurora,  who  completed  the 
unexpired  term  caused  by  the  death  of  Mr.  Inglis. 

It  was  a  wise  provision  to  bring  to  the  several  boards  of  the 
state  the  ripe  scholarship,  large  experience  and  broad  vision  of 
those  who  must  necessarily  view  the  problems  of  these  institutions 
in  the  light  of  the  entire  system  of  education  in  the  commonwealth. 

Dr.  Richard  Edwards,  then  late  President  of  the  Illinois  State 
Normal  University,  was  the  first  to  enter  upon  the  duties  thus 
provided  for.  Since  the  law  became  effective  during  his  term  of 
office,  he  was  a  member  but  two  years,  but  the  influence  of  his 
personality  and  familiarity  with  school  problems  of  Illinois  was 
of  immense  value  to  the  school.  In  1891  he  was  succeeded  by  Supt. 
Henry  Raab  of  Belleville,  retiring  in  1895.  His  rugged  person- 
ality and  profound  earnestness  had  a  salutary  influence  upon  the 
policies  of  the  board.  Mr.  Raab's  deep  solicitude  for  the  primary 
and  elementary  grades  in  the  public  schools  of  the  state  showed 
itself  in  some  advanced  policies  in  the  training  department  of  the 
normal  school  here. 

Professor  Samuel  M.  Inglis  of  Greenville,  who  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  board  of  trustees  thru  the  appointment  of  Governor 
Cullom  in  1881,  served  till  1883  when  he  was  elected  a  member  of 
the  faculty.  From  1892  to  1894  he  was  secretary  of  the  faculty. 
In  the  fall  of  1894  he  was  elected  Supt.  of  Public  Instruction 
which  continued  his  connection  with  the  institution  but  in  a  more 
official  capacity.  His  long  acquaintance  with  the  school  rendered 
his  services  all  the  more  valuable. 

Upon  the  death  of  Mr.  Inglis  in  the  summer  of  1898,  his 
Assistant,  the  Honorable  J.  H.  Freeman,  was  appointed  to  fill  out 
the  unexpired  term,  till  the  following  January.  This  short  period 
gave  Mr.  Freeman  but  little  opportunity  to  affect  the  workings  of 


30 

the  school ;  however  his  keen  insight  into  the  merits  of  any  proposed 
plans  was  highly  appreciated  by  his  colleagues  and  the  president 
of  the  school. 

In  1899  Professor  Alfred  Bayliss  of  Streator  became  Supt.  of 
Public  Instruction.  He  gave  freely  of  his  time  and  counsel  to  the 
welfare  of  the  school.  His  sound  judgment  coupled  with  a  wide 
knowledge  of  educational  forces  at  work  in  the  state  was  of  great 
significance  to  the  institution.  By  his  oft  repeated  observations 
relative  to  the  school  at  Carbondale,  it  was  known  that  the  Southern 
Illinois  State  Normal  University  had  a  very  warm  place  in  Mr.  Bay- 
liss' affections.  This  feeling  was  mutual,  as  the  entire  student  body 
and  the  faculty  held  him  in  the  highest  esteem,  and  were  inspired 
by  his  kindly  counsel,  lofty  ideals  and  cordial  greetings.  It  seemed 
proper  to  name  the  athletic  field  in  his  honor.  His  tragic  and 
untimely  taking  away  was  a  great  shock  to  his  many  friends  at 
the  Carbondale  school. 

Mr.  Bayliss  was  followed  in  1907  by  the  Honorable  Francis 
Gr.  Blair,  who  had  been  Superintendent  of  the  training  school  of 
the  Eastern  Illinois  State  Normal  School  for  a  number  of  years. 
He  is  now  nearing  the  close  of  his  second  term  of  four  years  each. 
Altho  a  younger  man  than  any  of  his  predecessors  were,  when 
in  office,  his  special  preparation  and  training  for  the  duties  thereof, 
enabled  him  to  take  front  rank  among  the  state  superintendents 
of  the  nation.  Mr.  Blair  has  been  signally  fortunate  in  securing 
favorable  legislation  affecting  the  interests  of  education  thruout 
the  commonwealth,  especially  during  the  later  sessions  of  the 
General  Assemblies.  The  scope  of  the  office  is  much  enlarged  and 
effective,  the  force  now  numbering  six  or  more  efficient  helpers. 

PRESIDENTS  OF  THE  FACULTIES 

The  institution  was  indeed  fortunate  in  having  for  its  first 
president  a  gentleman  of  rare  scholarship  and  broad  culture;  one 
of  most  excellent  character  and  large  experience  as  an  educator. 
Because  of  these  attainments,  Dr.  Allyn  was  peculiarly  fitted  for 
the  leadership  of  young  men  and  women  who  contemplated  enter- 
ing the  profession  of  teaching;  more  especially  was  this  valuable 
at  the  opening  of  a  normal  school  which  was  destined  to  play  an 
important  part  in  the  evolution  of  a  people  in  a  condition  ripe  for 
the  leaven  which  such  a  school  could  spread  thruout  the  southern 
portion  of  Illinois.  Very  few  educators  have  been  able  to  leave 
a  more  wholesome  and  lasting  influence  upon  an  institution  and 


31 

a  large  section  of  country  than  did  Dr.  Allyn.  After  eighteen 
years  of  most  valuable  service  he  retired  in  1892.  He  remained 
in  Carbondale  till  the  date  of  his  death,  January  1894. 

Professor  John  Hull,  who  had  been  in  the  faculty  from  the 
beginning  of  the  second  year,  followed  Dr.  Allyn  as  president. 
During  the  one  year  in  which  he  occupied  this  position  the  exhibit 
for  the  ''Columbian  Exposition"  was  prepared  by  the  school.  The 
friends  of  the  institution  had  just  cause  for  a  feeling  of  pride  on 
account  of  the  very  great  excellency  of  this  exhibit.  Mr.  Hull  was 
followed  by  Dr.  H.  W.  Everest  late  president  of  "Garfield  Uni- 
versity," Wichita,  Kansas,  whose  term  of  service  extended  from 
1893  to  1897.  He  also  came  to  the  school  after  an  extended  experi- 
ence as  president  of  several  denominational  institutions.  He  too, 
left  an  impress  upon  the  school  that  will  remain  thru  the  years 
to  come.  During  Dr.  Everest's  presidency  the  Science  building 
was  erected  with  an  appropriation  of  $40,000;  $10,000  less  than 
was  asked  for.  Under  the  administration  of  President  Everest  the 
institution  made  a  decided  advancement  in  many  ways,  especially 
in  attendance.  He  was  succeeded  by  the  writer  of  this  sketch, 
who  had  been  a  member  of  the  faculty  from  the  opening  of  the 
school.  During  the  year  1897-1898  he  served  as  "Acting  Presi- 
dent" and  was  elected  president  in  the  spring  of  1898,  occupy- 
ing said  position  until  September,  1913;  making  a  term  of 
unbroken  service  of  thirty-nine  years.  During  the  years  of  his 
presidency,  sixteen  years,  the  library  building,  the  model  school 
building  and  the  woman's  building  were  each  planned  for  and 
erected;  the  farm  was  purchased  and  the  departments  of  manual 
training,  household  arts  and  agriculture  were  added  to  the  curri- 
cula of  studies. 

President  Henry  W.  Shryock  came  into  the  faculty  in  1894 
as  a  successor  to  the  late  State  Supt.  Samuel  M.  Inglis.  In  1898 
he  was  made  Vice-President  and  Registrar.  He  enters  upon  his 
duties  as  president  under  propitious  conditions,  having  a  large 
measure  of  familiarity  with  the  duties  and  responsibilities  of  the 
exalted  position.  This  coupled  with  his  extended  acquaintance 
with  the  normal  school  people  of  the  middle  west,  and  the  problems 
therein,  give  him  a  peculiar  fitness  for  the  duties  of  president. 
The  friends  of  the  school  anticipate  a  continuation  of  the  growth 
and  popularity  of  the  institution  in  its  ideals,  its  usefulness  and 
in  its  attendance.  The  installation  exercises  were  held  in  con- 
nection with  the  dedication  of  the  woman's  building  on  October 
23,  1913.  These  were  of  unusual  interest  and  marked  a  new  era 
in  the  life  of  the  Southern  Illinois  Normal  University.

VICE-PRESIDENTS 

The  office  of  vice-president  was  not  created  till  the  year  1894. 
Those  who  have  served  in  that  capacity  are  as  follows:  The  com- 
piler of  these  notes,  serving  from  1894  till  1898,  when  he  was 
succeeded  by  Professor  Shryock,  who  served  till  his  promotion  to 
the  presidency,  when  Dr.  C.  E.  Allen  was  honored  with  the  office. 

REGISTRARS 

This  office  has  from  the  first  been  one  of  responsibility.  The 
first  incumbent  was  Professor  C.  W.  Jerome  who  met  the  demands 
of  this  position  with  great  satisfaction  from  June  1874  till  June 
1891.  He  was  followed  by  Professor  John  Hull  till  his  promotion 
to  the  presidency  in  1892.  He  in  turn  was  followed  by  the  writer 
who  looked  after  the  duties  of  the  office  till  1898,  when  Professor 
Shryock  assumed  the  responsibilities  of  this  position,  acting  in 
said  capacity  till  made  president  in  1913. 

Mr.  Shryock  was  succeeded  by  Professor  Allen  who  is  the 
present  incumbent  and  meeting  the  demands  of  the  office  with 
great  satisfaction  to  all  concerned  with  the  affairs  of  the  institu- 
tion. 

TEACHERS 

In  addition  to  the  above  brief  references  to  those  who  have 
had  the  larger  responsibilities  of  the  institution  the  writer  asks 
the  privilege  of  naming  a  few  of  those  who  have  labored  long  and 
efficiently  for  the  good  name  and  upbuilding  of  the  school.  These 
will  be  noted  in  the  order  of  their  length  of  service  and  confined 
to  those  who  have  labored  not  less  than  twenty  years. 

Miss  Martha  Buck  has  the  distinction  of  serving  longer  than 
any  of  her  associates,  being  now  in  her  fortieth  year,  with  but  few 
leaves  of  absence,  and  these  never  for  a  period  longer  than  one 
term.  Her  services  have  been  confined  very  largely  to  the  field 
of  English  grammar  and  kindred  subjects.  During  this  time  she 
published  a  text  on  grammar  which  she  has  used  herself  and  it 
has  been  adopted  by  others,  especially  by  those  who  have  been  her 
students. 

Miss  Buck's  influence  for  good  among  her  students  and  in  the 
community  has  been  very  extended  and  pronounced.  She  has  a 
multitude  of  loyal  friends  among  the  thousands  of  former  students 
scattered  thruout  the  state  and  nation. 

Professor  George  H.  French  came  to  Carbondale  in  1876  to 
assist  the  late  Dr.  Cyrus  Thomas  who  at  that  time  was  State 


33 

Entomologist  in  addition  to  his  duties  in  the  institution  as  head  of 
the  department  of  natural  history.  In  1877  Mr.  French  was  made 
curator  of  the  museum.  Upon  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Thomas  in 
1881,  Mr.  French  became  his  worthy  successor,  where  he  has 
labored  very  faithfully  and  efficiently  with  scarcely  a  day 's  absence, 
not  excepting  the  summer  months. 

For  the  past  few  years  his  labors  have  been  much  lightened 
by  the  appointment  of  Professor  John  P.  Gilbert,  who  was  placed 
in  charge  of  the  department  in  1910.  In  addition  to  his  arduous 
duties,  Professor  French  has  found  time  to  write  for  scientific 
journals  of  varied  character.  Some  years  since  he  published  a 
treatise  on  "The  Butterflies  of  the  Eastern  United  States."  His 
reputation  as  'a  scientific  student  and  writer  is  international, 
belonging  to  the  following  societies :  Fellow  of  the  American  Asso- 
ciation for  the  Advancement  of  Sciences ;  Member  of  the  St.  Louis 
Academy  of  Sciences;  of  the  Entomological  Society  of  France;  of 
the  Entomological  Society  of  Belgium;  Associate  Member  of  the 
Natural  History  of  Lubic,  Germany ;  of  the  Entomological  Society 
of  Ontario;  of  the  Entomological  Society  of  New  York;  of  the 
American  Entomological  Society;  of  the  Philadelphia  Academy 
of  Sciences. 

Miss  Matilda  F.  Salter,  who  was  elected  to  succeed  Miss  Lilian 
B.  Ford  as  head  of  the  department  of  Art,  in  1885,  is  still  a  mem- 
ber of  the  faculty.  She  is  now  in  her  twenty-ninth  year  of  efficient 
service,  with  a  few  periods  of  absence  on  account  of  ill-health. 

Professor  George  W.  Smith  entered  the  faculty  in  the  fall  of 
1900,  first  as  training  teacher  in  the  seventh  and  eight  grades; 
which  position  he  occupied  for  seven  years,  when  he  was  placed 
in  charge  of  the  double  department  of  History  and  Geography. 
In  the  course  of  six  years  a  separate  department  was  made  of 
geography,  with  Professor  Frank  H.  Colyer  in  charge.  Mr.  Smith 
is  now  in  his  twenty-fourth  year  of  service  as  one  of  the  most 
capable  teachers  of  the  institution.  Since  1894  he  has  been  secre- 
tary of  the  faculty.  A  few  years  since  he  published  an  excellent 
text  on  the  "History  of  Illinois,"  and  later  a  "History  of  Southern 
Illinois"  in  three  large  volumes.  A  most  creditable  effort  as  a 
writer  of  history. 

Dr.  Carlos  E.  Allen  became  a  member  of  the  teaching  force  in 
1894  when  he  succeeded  Mrs.  Clara  B.  Way,  to  have  charge  of 
the  department  of  Latin,  Greek  and  German.  He  has  labored 
with  marked  acceptability  in  said  department  till  the  present  time. 
At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  last  June,  Mr.  Allen  was 


34 

made  Vice-President,  Registrar  and  Financial  Agent,  in  addition 
to  his  regular  class  duties.  At  the  expiration  of  the  present  year, 
he  will  have  served  nineteen  years,  having  been  given  a  year's 
absence  a  few  years  since;  otherwise  he  would  have  served  twenty 
years,  as  the  tabulated  list  of  teachers  indicates.  During  the  later 
years  he  worked  out  the  degrees  of  M.  A.  and  Ph.  D.  at  the 
University  of  Chicago;  making  an  excellent  record  as  a  student 
in  advanced  work. 

Not  to  mention  the  librarian,  who  rendered  the  longest  service 
and  with  marked  acceptability,  would  be  an  unwarranted  over- 
sight. 

Miss  Minnie  J.  Fryar,  an  alumna  of  the  school  was  of  the  class 
of  1886.  After  teaching  several  years  she  was  offered  the  posi- 
tion of  librarian  in  1892,  which  position  she  occupied  for  seven 
years,  when  she  was  transferred  for  two  years  to  the  department 
of  English,  as  instructor.  In  1901  she  was  again  placed  in  charge 
of  the  library  and  remained  till  1905,  when  she  resigned  to  assume 
the  duties  of  a  higher  calling,  that  of  companion  and  home  keeper 
of  Mr.  H.  L.  Kessler,  of  the  class  of  1900. 

As  the  successful  military  campaign  could  not  be  waged  with- 
out the  faithful  private  in  the  ranks,  so  the  efficient  ongoing  of 
an  institution  depends  in  no  small  measure  on  those  in  less  con- 
spicuous positions.  All  students  and  teachers  connected  with  the 
school  during  the  last  twelve  years  will  ever  remember  with  much 
gratitude  the  faithful  and  efficient  services  of  Miss  Lula  Peay, 
who  served  as  Secretary  to  the  President  from  1901  to  1913. 
However  busy  she  may  have  been  with  her  own  special  duties,  she 
was  always  willing  to  attend  to  the  calls  of  students  and  faculty 
for  information  and  assistance  in  a  most  gracious  and  patient 
manner.  The  records  of  the  institution  show  a  larger  number  of 
entries  made  in  her  hand-writing  than  in  that  of  any  other.  She 
resigned  her  position  last  June  to  assume  the  more  exalted  duties 
of  Mrs.  Arthur  G.  Cross,  of  the  class  of  1897.  » 

It  would  be  an  unexcusable  oversight  were  no  reference  made 
of  the  exceptional  services  of  Mr.  John  Amon  of  the  janitor 
service.  He  came  as  the  assistant  to  Mr.  Richard  Tierney,  who  on 
account  of  ill-health  resigned  after  many  years  of  faithful  and 
efficient  labor  as  engineer  and  head  janitor.  Mr.  Amon  began  his 
service  in  1897;  became  head  janitor  in  1898,  and  is  still  at  the 
head  of  the  force.  No  institution  ever  had  an  employe  of  greater 
fidelity  and  promptness.  The  members  of  the  Literary  Societies 
and  the  Christian  Associations  will  ever  remember  with  gratitude 


35 

Mr.  Amon's  faithful  services  in  their  times  of  regular  need  and 
in  special  emergencies. 

MILITARY  TACTICS 

Not  long  after  the  opening  of  the  school  it  was  learned  that  the 
federal  government  was  willing  to  supply  the  institution  a  mili- 
tary equipment  necessary  for  giving  the  more  elementary  forms 
of  military  tactics,  and  to  detail  an  officer  to  have  charge  of  the 
work. 

In  the  year  1877  Brev't  Captain  Thomas  J.  Spencer,  U.  S.  A. 
was  detailed  to  Carbondale  to  take  charge  of  this  new  department, 
being  one  of  a  very  few  assignments  of  this  character  to  a  normal 
school. 

After  three  years  of  service  in  this  capacity  the  captain  was 
assigned  to  other  duties,  and  First  Lieut.  Hugh  T.  Reed  was  selected 
as  his  successor,  who  likewise  served  three  years,  retiring  in  1883. 
He  in  turn  was  succeeded  by  Lieut.  Charles  G.  Starr,  U.  S.  A., 
remaining  in  charge  till  1886,  when  he  was  followed  by  Lieut. 
James  Franklin  Bell,  U.  S.  A.,  resigning  the  position  in  1889,  when 
the  government  ceased  to  make  further  assignments  to  the  institu- 
tion. However,  in  a  less  pretentious  way,  the  organization  was 
continued  four  years  longer  under  the  leadership  of  Professor 
George  V.  Buchanan  of  the  class  of  '84  who  had  distinguished 
himself,  while  a  student  in  the  school,  as  one  of  the  captains  in 
the  department.  Since  1893  no  work  of  a  military  character  has 
been  offered  by  the  school,  much  to  the  disappointment  of  many 
young  men,  and  serious  loss  in  some  very  essential  features  of 
manly  training,  and  physical  development.  During  these  seven- 
teen years  the  young  men  of  the  school  took  great  pride  in  their 
drills  and  maneuvers,  and  in  meeting  the  requirements  of  their 
several  official  positions. 

Of  the  above  named  officers,  from  the  regular  army,  Mr.  Bell 
is  the  only  one  still  in  the  service.  Since  leaving  the  school  in 
1889  he  has  distinguished  himself  on  many  battlefields  in  the 
Philippine  Islands  and  in  other  ways.  In  1906,  he  was  honored 
by  President  Roosevelt  in  being  made  "Chief  of  Staff."  At  this 
writing  he  is  now  on  his  way  home  from  the  Philippines  with  the 
supposition  that  he  is  to  take  charge  of  the  Department  of  the 
Lakes,  with  a  strong  probability  of  being  sent  to  the  Mexican  Bor- 
der, provided  the  policy  of  "Watchful  Waiting"  should  give  place 
to  more  active  military  participation  in  the  affairs  of  our  neighbors 
on  the  South.

ATTENDANCE 

In  giving  an  exhibit  of  the  attendance  there  is  some  difficulty 
in  making  comparisons  on  account  of  having  changed  the  classifi- 
cation from  time  to  time.  From  the  first  the  regular  normal 
courses  have  required  rather  strong  entrance  preparation,  necessi- 
tating a  preparatory  or  sub-normal  course,  which  offered  the 
necessary  training  in  study  and  scholarship  for  those  not  qualified 
for  the  regular  normal  courses.  These  have  been  classified  as 
normal  students.  The  first  two  years  of  the  high  school  have 
usually  been  classed  as  a  part  of  the  Training  School. 

The  figures  are  taken  from  the  regular  catalogs  as  they  were 
published  from  year  to  year.

While  it  is  too  early  in  the  school  year  to  name  the  exact  figures 
for  the  present  year  it  is  a  pleasure  to  state  that  the  attendance 
has  been  far  in  excess  of  any  previous  year ;  especially  is  this  true 
of  the  spring  term,  which  has  just  opened.  This  is,  in  part,  due 
to  the  very  favorable  provisions  of  the  new  "Certification  Law," 
referred  to  in  the  observations  on  ' '  The  Alumni. "  It  is  estimated 
the  attendance  at  the  present  time  is  quite  fifty  per  cent  increase 
over  that  of  any  previous  term,  a  very  gratifying  condition  to  the 
management  of  the  institution  and  its  thousands  of  friends  thruout 
the  state.  It  is  estimated,  also,  that  the  graduating  class  of  the 
present  year  will  be  sixty-five  per  cent  larger  than  any  former 
class.

THE  ALUMNI 

From  the  above  table  it  appears  that  the  number  of  graduates 
has  ranged  from  four  to  thirty-eight,  with  a  total  of  six  hundred 
eighty-one.  The  average  is  a  trifle  less  than  eighteen  per  year. 

The  number  in  the  graduating  classes  has  not  been  as  large 
as  the  attendance  would  indicate.  This  may  be  accounted  for  in 
part  by  several  causes,  viz.:  the  demand  for  teachers,  especially 
in  the  more  recent  years,  has  been  so  urgent,  the  county  super- 
intendents have  been  compelled  to  urge  even  those  whose  prepara- 
tion has  been  less  than  a  full  normal  course,  oft-times  but  a  year, 
and  infrequently  but  one  term,  to  engage  in  teaching.  In  many 
instances  after  the  young  man  or  young  woman,  as  the  case  might 
be,  had  begun  to  earn  money  in  this  way  it  seemed  difficult  to 
stop  teaching  long  enough  to  complete  a  regular  normal  course. 
Second,  not  until  recently  has  the  state  adopted  a  plan  for  the 
certification  of  its  teachers  that  made  the  completion  of  such 
courses  in  any  sense  attractive.  With  the  exception  of  two  short 
periods,  Illinois  has  failed  to  honor  the  product  of  its  own  normal 
schools  by  any  reasonable  concessions  in  the  matter  of  issuing 
certificates.  The  last  General  Assembly,  however,  redeemed  the 
good  name  of  the  commonwealth  by  writing  on  the  statute  books 
a  certification  law  that  offers  to  the  graduates  of  the  normal 
schools  some  inducements  that  heretofore  have  not  obtained. 

In  the  third  place,  not  until  recently,  has  the  school  offered  any 
but  the  two  regular  normal  courses  for  diploma  work,  and  these 
have  purposely  been  kept  reasonably  strong,  requiring  for  the 
average  country  boy  five  full  years  of  solid  work.  Under  the 
circumstances  it  is  not  strange  that  a  comparatively  small  number 
completed  the  prescribed  courses.  Within  the  last  few  years  a 
number  of  more  elastic  courses  have  been  offered  and  given  the 
same  recognition  with  reference  to  graduation,  viz.,  manual  train- 
ing, household  arts,  agriculture  and  commercial.  With  these 
inducements  it  is  fully  expected  that  the  graduating  classes  will 
be  much  larger  hereafter. 

Not  only  will  the  new  certification  law  tend  to  increase  the  size 
of  the  graduating  classes  but  it  will  favorably  affect  the  general 
attendance,  since  it  places  a  premium  on  even  a  briefer  period 
than  to  complete  a  full  course.  The  advocates  of  the  state  normal 
schools  have  labored  and  waited  patiently  and  long  for  this  just 
recognition  of  the  work  of  the  institutions  which  have  for  their 
special  function  the  preparation  of  young  people  for  the  duties  of 
the  school  room  and  the  evolution  of  the  character  and  life  of  the 
youth  of  the  state.

THE  EVOLUTION  OF  THE  TRAINING  SCHOOL 

It  is  conceded  that  the  prime  purpose  of  a  normal  school  is 
to  prepare  prospective  teachers  for  their  special  calling.  Horace 
Mann  conceived  the  idea  that  the  teachers  of  this  country  needed 
this  training  as  well  as  those  of  Germany  and  succeeded  in  demon- 
strating the  soundness  of  his  theory  in  his  own  state  at  an  early 
date.  Some  years  elapsed  before  the  advocacy  of  this  doctrine 
could  secure  much  of  a  hearing  in  the  newer  states.  The  agitation 
of  this  new  doctrine  reached  Illinois  in  the  early  fifties  and 
resulted  in  an  act  of  the  legislature  being  passed  in  1857  for  the 
establishment  of  a  Normal  University. 

Twelve  years  later  the  subject  of  this  sketch  began  its  career, 
with  the  conviction  in  the  minds  of  its  leaders  that  a  normal 
school  without  a  Training  Department  was  a  misnomer.  Hence 
from  the  first  the  Model  School  has  received  no  small  share  of 
attention,  and  evidences  of  a  real  serious  study  of  the  needs  of 
the  school  are,  perhaps,  more  apparent  here  than  in  any  other 
department  of  the  institution. 

Miss  Julia  F.  Mason  was  its  first  Principal.  For  a  short  while 
after  her  retirement  it  was  not  well  organized;  but  in  1882,  Pro- 
fessor John  Hull  was  placed  in  charge,  still  retaining  charge  of 
pedagogy  and  higher  mathematics.  For  two  years  he  was  assisted 
by  Miss  Mary  Sowers,  who  was  succeeded  by  Miss  Alice  Krysher 
in  1884,  and  she  by  Miss  Ann  C.  Anderson  in  1886.  Miss  Ander- 
son was  succeeded  by  Miss  Theda  Gildemeister  in  1893,  who  in 
turn  was  followed  by  Miss  Ada  P.  Wertz  in  1897. 

These  assistants  were  in  personal  charge  of  the  first  six  grades 
till  1893,  when  Miss  Irene  Furgeson  was  employed  to  assist  Miss 
Gildemeister,  and  in  1897  Miss  Lizzie  Parks  became  the  assistant 
to  Miss  Wertz,  and  later  placed  in  charge  of  the  primary  grades, 
as  critic  teacher.  She  resigned  in  1900,  and  her  position  was  filled 


40 

by  the  appointment  of  Miss  A.  Esther  Wilson,  who  remained  till 
1910. 

When  Mr.  Hull  was  elected  "Regent,"  as  the  position  was 
then  called,  in  1892,  Mr.  William  F.  Rocheleau,  was  placed  in 
charge  of  the  Training  School.  Upon  his  resignation  in  1895,  he 
was  succeeded  by  Mr.  James  Kirk,  who  came  to  the  school  from 
the  office  of  State  Supt.  Raab,  where  he  had  served  as  Assistant 
to  Mr.  Raab.  In  this  capacity  Mr.  Kirk  labored  till  he  was  placed 
at  the  head  of  the  department  of  mathematics,  and  Prof.  J.  T. 
Ellis  was  made  head  of  the  department,  in  1901.  Mr.  Ellis  was 
in  charge  till  1905,  when  Prof.  Samuel  E.  Harwood  was  placed 
in  charge  and  remained  till  1910  when  Prof.  Charles  Herbert 
Elliott  succeeded  him.  In  1913  Prof.  W.  A.  Furr  was  appointed 
Mr.  Elliott's  successor,  and  is  in  charge  at  the  time  of  the  writing 
of  this  bulletin. 

From  1897  till  1908  there  were  but  two  critic  teachers  for  the 
first  six  grades;  after  the  latter  date  the  school  was  able  to  have 
a  critic  for  each  two  grades,  including  the  ninth  and  tenth  grades, 
which  became  a  part  of  the  training  school.  By  this  time  the 
Superintendent  was  able  to  give  his  entire  time  to  this  depart- 
ment, while  a  number  of  the  regular  teachers  of  the  normal  classes 
assisted  more  or  less  in  the  teaching;  especially  was  this  true  in 
history  and  geography. 

New  life  was  given  to  the  Training  School  when  it  was  given 
a  building  of  its  own  in  1909,  which  contributed  very  largely  to 
the  comfort  of  the  children  and  their  teachers,  to  the  organiza- 
tion and  efficiency  of  the  department. 

Some  years  prior  to  1893,  the  institution  offered  a  high  school 
course  somewhat  after  the  plan  of  the  older  normal  school  at 
Normal,  but  Governor  Altgeld  was  of  the  opinion  that  such  a 
course  had  no  place  in  a  state  normal  school,  and  it  was  discon- 
tinued at  his  request.  However,  the  demand  continued  and  both 
schools  reinstated  these  courses  after  a  few  years.  As  stated  before, 
the  first  two  year  pupils  were  regarded  as  belonging  to  the  prac- 
tice school,  but  the  third  and  fourth  were  taught  quite  largely 
along  with  the  normal  students,  thus  avoiding  much  extra  expense 
in  caring  for  the  high  school  pupils. 

The  Model  School  is  provided  with  a  good  supply  of  out-door 
playground  apparatus,  and  the  children  have  access  to  the  privi- 
leges of  the  gymnasium.  They  have  sufficient  ground  assigned 
them  from  the  farm  for  school  and  landscape  gardens.  From  its 
early  history,  the  institution  has  regarded  the  training  school  as 


41 

an  indispensable  part  of  the  normal  school  organization,  and  have 
sought  to  make  it  as  helpful  as  possible  to  the  would-be  teacher. 

MANUAL  TRAINING  AND  HOUSEHOLD  ARTS 

These  two  departments  were  not  added  till  in  the  later  years, 
due  in  some  measure  to  the  lack  of  room.  The  former  was  intro- 
duced with  a  fairly  good  equipment  in  the  summer  of  1907,  under 
the  supervision  of  Miss  Myra  M.  LaSalle,  who  was  followed  the 
next  year  by  Prof.  Louis  C.  Petersen,  who  increased  its  scope  and 
equipment.  He  is  still  in  charge.  Mr.  Petersen  has  published  a 
number  of  bulletins  that  have  been  in  demand,  not  only  in  this 
country  but  in  other  lands. 

The  department  of  domestic  science  was  installed  in  the  summer 
of  1909,  with  Miss  Grace  E.  Jones  in  charge,  who  planned  the 
equipment  and  the  courses  of  study.  These  have  been  revised 
somewhat,  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  growing  department,  with  Miss 
Lucy  K.  Moody  as  assistant. 

The  two  departments  have  been  very  popular  and  have  added 
much  to  the  attractions  of  the  school;  a  number  of  students  have 
been  employed  as  teachers  in  these  subjects  in  the  public  schools 
of  the  state. 

AGRICULTURE 

While  more  or  less  attention  had  been  paid  to  elementary 
agriculture,  for  some  years,  especially  in  what  was  termed  the 
State  Course,  it  was  not  given  the  dignity  of  a  separate  course 
till  the  General  Assembly  of  1911  made  an  appropriation  for  that 
purpose,  which  included  the  purchase  of  a  farm  and  the  fitting 
up  of  suitable  laboratories  for  the  analysis  of  soils,  testing  soil 
fertility,  etc.  The  Institution  was  fortunate  in  being  able  to  obtain 
a  tract  of  land  adjoining  a  part  of  the  campus  with  only  a  country 
highway  intervening.  The  tract  lacks  but  little  of  having  sixty 
acres  in  it  and  is  regarded  as  a  wise  and  profitable  investment. 
The  last  legislature  made  a  generous  provision  for  the  purchase  of 
modern  farm  machinery,  some  pedigreed  stock,  and  for  more  com- 
pletely equipping  the  laboratories.  In  addition  to  the  above  a 
typical  Farm  Home  is  to  be  erected  on  the  state  farm  for  the 
purpose  of  exhibiting  to  the  students,  not  only  those  in  this  special 
department,  but  to  all  who  are  interested,  the  ideal  conditions  of 
a  rural  home  as  far  as  this  may  be  shown  at  an  institution  of 
learning. 


42 

This  fragmentary  account  of  these  rather  recent  additions  to 
the  scope  of  work  of  the  institution  may  be  regarded  as  a  sample 
of  the  ambition  of  the  school  to  offer  the  young  people  of  Southern 
Illinois  the  best  facilities  in  school  work  that  are  known,  and  to 
make  the  school  of  maximum  value  to  the  section  of  the  common- 
wealth in  which  it  is  located. 

THE  COMMERCIAL  COURSE 

While  Bookkeeping  was  taught  in  the  early  years  of  the  school, 
and  was  one  of  the  prescribed  studies  for  many  years  it  was  elimi- 
nated to  make  room  for  some  of  the  more  professional  branches. 
However,  the  recent  demand  for  vocational  training  has  made  it 
seem  wise  to  restore  bookkeeping  to  a  place  in  a  regular  course 
and  add  thereto  typewriting  and  other  kindred  studies  and  offer 
a  regular  commercial  course.  This  has  necessitated  the  purchase 
of  an  equipment  of  typewriters,  the  establishment  of  a  banking  out- 
fit and  other  features  peculiar  to  this  department. 

This  departure  was  made  to  keep  step  with  the  march  of  prog- 
ress in  the  educational  field,  which  calls  for  a  provision  for  the  types 
of  mind  not  attracted  by  the  regulation  courses,  which  must  ever 
be  held  as  the  typical  line  of  study  for  the  prospective  teacher. 

THE  LIBRARY 

From  the  beginning  of  the  school,  the  value  of  a  good  reading 
and  a  good  reference  library  has  been  recognized  as  a  very  necess- 
ary adjunct  to  a  normal  school.  Dr.  Allyn  gave  wise  attention 
to  the  selection  of  such  pedagogical  works  as  would  be  of  the 
greatest  value  to  those  contemplating  entering  the  profession  of 
teaching. 

At  first  the  small  collection  of  books  was  housed  in  the  north- 
east room  of  the  fourth  floor  under  the  mansard  roof,  and  remained 
there  till  the  burning  of  the  building  in  1883.  Altho  the  books 
were  on  the  fourth  floor,  by  the  herculean  efforts  of  the  students, 
teachers,  and  friends  in  the  town,  but  few  volumes  were  lost. 

During  the  interim,  till  the  new  building  was  erected,  the  books 
were  kept  in  the  temporary  structure,  and  in  some  of  the  build- 
ings of  Carbondale.  Strange  as  it  may  seem,  but  few  books  were 
lost  during  these  three  years  and  four  months.  Upon  the  comple- 
tion of  the  new  building  the  northwest  room  on  the  second  floor 
was  set  apart  for  the  library.  Here  it  remained  till  the  erection 


43 

of  the  Science  building  in  1896,  when  the  books  were  taken  to 
the  north  east  room  on  the  first  floor  of  this  building. 

Upon  the  erection  of  the  library  building  in  1904  the  books 
were  again  moved,  and  this  time  to  a  home  designed  especially 
for  that  purpose.  The  entire  first  floor  of  this  building  is  occupied 
for  library  use. 

The  catalog  of  1878  is  the  first  one  that  makes  any  reference 
to  the  library.  It  states  that  there  were  at  that  time  ' '  about  5,000 
carefully  selected  volumes,  including  a  professional  library  for 
teachers."  The  following  exhibit  shows  the  number  of  volumes 
reported  in  the  several  catalogs  from  year  to  year: 

VOLUMES  IN  THE  LIBRARY,  1878-1913. 

1878 5,000  1890 9,000  1902 16,800 

1879 5,790  1891 10,000  1903 17,169 

1880 5,790  1892 11,000  1904 17,800 

1881 6,653  1893 12,000  1905 18,470 

1882 7,500  1894 13,000  1906 19,060 

1883 7,900  1895 13,000  1907 19,060 

1884 7,900  1896 14,000  1908 20,500 

1885 7,900  1897 14,000  1909 22,000 

1886 7,900  1898 15,000  1910 22,500 

1887 7,900  1899 15,000  1911 23,400 

1888 7,900  1900 ......  15,000  1912 23,975 

1889 8,000  1901 15,160  1913 24,729 

From  the  above  tabulated  exhibit  it  appears  that  at  a  few 
periods  there  seem  to  have  been  no  books  added  during  several 
years;  especially  was  this  true  just  after  the  burning  of  the  first 
building  when  there  was  no  additional  room  for  new  books,  and 
the  extra  expense  of  moving  and  storing  books,  apparatus,  furni- 
ture, etc.  consumed  all  funds  not  needed  for  actual  demands  on 
the  treasury. 

LITERARY  SOCIETIES 

This  historical  sketch  would  be  far  from  complete  were  no  ref- 
erence made  to  the  literary  societies  that  have  played  no  insigni- 
ficant part  in  the  cultural  work  of  the  institution.  Quite  early  in 
the  first  term  of  the  school  the  question  of  organizing  such  an 
agency  for  literary  training  was  seriously  considered ;  due  in  part 
to  the  fact  that  a  number  of  the  students  had  attended  school  at  the 
older  normal  school,  McKeiidree  College,  Ewing  College  and  The 
Southern  Illinois  College,  and  were  more  or  less  acquainted  with  the 
importance  of  the  training  offered  by  such  school  agencies.  As  early 


44 

as  September  9, 1874,  a  petition  was  presented  to  the  faculty  asking 
permission  to  organize  a  literary  society.  The  petition  was  granted 
and  in  a  few  days  the  following  students  were  assembled  in 
response  to  a  call  for  the  purpose  of  perfecting  an  organization: 
Robert  H.  Flannagan,  John  Quails,  J.  M.  Reeder,  Heber  Robarts, 
D.  G.  Thompson,  N.  Ellen  Sherman,  Charles  E.  Evans,  Louis  M. 
Kane,  John  N.  Law,  S.  A.  Maxwell,  Mary  Wright,  J.  M.  Osborne, 
J.  R.  Dean  and  S.  E.  Sprague.  At  this  meeting  a  committee  was 
appointed  to  draft  a  constitution  and  by-laws  to  be  presented  at 
a  meeting  to  be  held  one  week  later. 

At  the  appointed  time  the  committee  was  ready  to  report,  and 
the  important  documents  were  accepted.  At  the  same  meeting  the 
following  officers  were  elected:  President,  Miss  Mary  Wright; 
Vice-President,  Heber  Robarts;  Secretary,  Miss  N.  Ellen  Sher- 
man. There  seems  to  have  been  no  need  of  a  treasurer  at  first, 
as  the  record  is  silent  with  reference  to  this  office. 

The  only  available  room  for  this  new  agency  in  the  new  normal 
school  was  the  northwest  room  on  the  fourth  floor. 

To  find  a  suitable  name  for  this  organization  was  not  an  easy 
task;  but  in  due  time  one  was  agreed  upon,  quite  unlike  that  of 
any  other  known  to  the  members  at  that  time  and  possibly  not 
at  the  present  date;  for  they  were  ambitious  in  more  ways  than 
one.  This  one  before  the  days  of  vocational  training,  and  any 
school  course  or  literary  organization  that  failed  to  have  a  pro- 
nounced flavor  of  Greek,  Latin,  and  mathematics  was  regarded 
as  of  little  consequence.  The  unique  term  "Zetetic,"  meaning  a 
seeker,  or  lover  of  knowledge,  seemed  to  meet  the  requirements. 
So  the  name  Zetetic  has  been  more  or  less  on  the  lips  of  the  students 
and  faculty  for  nearly  forty  years,  and  will  doubtless  continue 
so  for  generations  yet  to  be. 

The  motto  of  the  Zetetic  society  has  been  helpful  to  hundreds 
of  young  people  since  it  touches  the  two  extremes  of  effort,  "Learn 
to  Labor  and  to  Wait." 

At  the  time  of  the  fire  the  society  was  able  to  save  all  its  furni- 
ture including  the  piano.  During  the  rebuilding  of  the  main  build- 
ing the  society  was  housed  in  the  temporary  building  in  one  of  the 
recitation  rooms.  Upon  the  completion  of  the  building  two  very 
choice  halls  were  in  readiness  for  the  two  literary  societies,  as 
very  soon  after  the  organization  of  the  first  one  a  second  followed. 
These  halls  were  frescoed  and  decorated  with  special  reference  to 
their  use. 

The  younger  society  was  the  outgrowth  of  a  demand  for  a 
debating  club,  which  for  a  time  was  confined  in  its  privileges  to 


45 

young  men.  While  the  young  men  heartily  enjoyed  their  oppor- 
tunities thus  provided,  the  other  society  seemed  to  possess  some 
attractions  theirs  did  not.  It  was  not  difficult  to  determine  the 
popular  feature  of  the  sister  society,  and  it  was  but  a  short  time 
till  the  ladies  were  admitted  on  the  same  terms  as  the  young  men. 

The  naming  of  the  latter  organization  was  less  difficult  than  in 
the  former  case.  It  was  soon  decided  to  name  it  in  honor  of 
the  great  Athenian  philosopher,  and  the  name  "Socratic"  has 
been  as  familiar  as  that  of  "Zetetic"  thruout  the  student-body 
of  the  institution. 

The  Socratic  motto  has  been  an  inspiration  not  only  to  its 
members  but  all  who  have  seen  it  on  the  walls  of  their  hall  and 
on  the  many  programs  presented  to  the  public  from  time  to  time 
during  nearly  forty  years:  "Nulla  vera  felicitas  sine  sapientia" — 
No  true  happiness  without  knowledge. 

The  first  home  of  this  society  was  similar  to  the  other,  but 
at  the  south  west  corner  of  the  same  floor ;  a  position  less  favorable 
at  the  time  of  the  burning  as  it  was  almost  immediately  under  the 
spot  where  the  fire  originated,  which  made  it  impossible  to  save 
all  the  furniture  especially  the  piano,  a  loss  they  were  ill-prepared 
to  meet  just  at  that  time. 

In  the  assignment  of  the  two  elegant  halls  in  the  restored  build- 
ing it  was  decided  to  grant  the  first  choice  on  the  basis  of  age. 
This  resulted  in  the  older  one  choosing  the  room  on  the  front 
end  of  the  building,  at  the  north  east  corner  of  the  third  floor, 
leaving  the  one  at  the  south  east  on  the  same  floor  for  the  Socratic 
people.  These  halls  are  counterparts  of  each  other,  having  the 
same  dimensions  in  each  direction,  and  furnished  as  much  alike  as 
possible. 

Upon  the  completion  of  the  library  building  in  1904,  it  was 
found  wise  to  locate  the  societies  there.  First,  it  was  less  trouble 
and  less  expensive  to  warm  and  light  the  halls  and  the  corridors 
leading  thereto.  Second,  it  would  be  less  disturbing  to  have  the 
rooms  over  the  library  proper  to  be  used  at  night,  by  the  societies 
than  by  classes  during  the  day.  The  rooms  at  the  south  and  east 
ends  were  appropriated  for  this  purpose. 

Since  a  difference  of  a  few  months  in  age  seemed  insignificant 
in  a  reach  of  thirty  years,  it  was  decided  to  give  them  an  equal 
chance  in  having  first  choice.  The  matter  was  made  more  interest- 
ing by  having  this  done  at  the  time  of  dedicating  the  building, 
and  conducted  by  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  Alfred 
Bayliss,  who  followed  a  plan  of  his  own,  that  of  having  the  presi- 
dents of  the  two  societies  draw  ribbons  of  different  lengths  from 


46 

a  book ;  the  one  drawing  the  longer  ribbon  to  have  the  first  choice. 
The  Socratic  president  was  the  lucky  one ;  resulting  in  their  choos- 
ing the  south  room  leaving  the  east  room  for  the  Zetetics.  It  was 
fortunate  that  in  each  room  there  are  good  qualities  to  offset  those 
of  equal  value  in  the  other. 

During  the  presidency  of  Dr.  Everest  1893- '97  two  other 
literary  societies  were  organized  and  for  some  time  accomplished 
considerable  good,  but  they  labored  under  the  disadvantage  of 
having  no  halls  set  apart  for  their  special  use,  consequently  were 
less  popular,  and  in  a  few  years  were  abandoned. 

Among  the  outstanding  features  of  each  of  these  organizations 
are  the  "Annual  Spring  Entertainments"  which  have  been  pre- 
sented to  the  public  as  a  part  of  the  program  of  Commencement 
Week.  These  have  received  more  than  usual  attention  *on  the  part 
of  the  membership.  The  student  body  and  the  general  public 
have  highly  appreciated  the  faithful  efforts  of  these  young  people 

in  this  field  of  general  culture.

THE  DEBATING  CLUB 

With  less  pretentions  as  to  organization  and  entertainment 
when  compared  with  the  literary  societies,  the  young  men  of  the 
school  continued  an  effort  among  themselves  for  training  in  for- 
ensic art,  which  has  been  productive  of  much  practical  value  to 
those  who  have  participated  in  the  exercises  thereof. 

These  groups  of  ambitious  young  men  have  called  their  com- 
pany by  various  names ;  sometimes  it  has  been  designated  as  ' '  The 
Debating  Club"  sometimes  as  "The  Forum,"  but  always  with 
the  same  purpose,  that  of  special  practice  in  the  high  art  of  pub- 
lic speaking  and  parliamentary  usage.

on  July  1,  1874,  was  sufficiently  organized  in  1876  to  prepare  an 
exhibit  for  the  Centennial  Exposition  held  that  year  in  Philadel- 
phia. 

While  the  display  was  largely  confined  to  bound  volumes  of 
manuscripts  showing  the  ability  of  students  in  preparing  school 
papers  covering  nearly  the  entire  range  of  their  work,  it  was  a 
creditable  exhibit  for  the  time.  The  institution  has  in  its  possession 


47 

an  interesting  diploma  as  evidence  of  having  presented  a  worthy 
showing  in  the  educational  department  of  this  exposition. 

THE  COLUMBIAN  EXPOSITION 

Seventeen  years  later,  when  the  nation  celebrated  the  Pour 
Hundredth  Anniversary  of  its  discovery,  in  1893,  one  year  later 
than  the  exact  date,  the  school  was  in  a  position  to  offer  the  pub- 
lic a  more  elaborate  exhibit,  both  on  account  of  having  had  experi- 
ence in  that  line,  and  having  a  larger  school  program  from  which  to 
draw  for  such  purpose. 

The  initial  preparations  were  made  under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
Eobert  Allyn  in  the  year  1872,  his  last  year  as  head  of  the  institu- 
tion. It  was  completed  in  the  next  school  year  under  the  super- 
vision of  President  John  Hull. 

In  addition  to  the  regulation  manuscripts  prepared  for  such 
occasions,  which  were  handsomely  bound  and  labeled,  more  atten- 
tion was  given  to  charts  and  outlines  representing  the  work  of 
students  in  their  study  of  methods  of  teaching,  determinations  in 
laboratory  work  and  observations  while  in  the  field.  A  much 
larger  collection  of  photographs  were  prepared  than  in  the  former 
exposition. 

An  attractive  "Hand  Book"  was  published  for  the  use  of 
visitors,  setting  forth  the  general  plans  of  the  school,  and  calling 
attention  to  the  most  salient  features  of  the  exhibit. 

The  space  allotted  to  the  Southern  Illinois  Normal  University 
was  located  in  the  south  side  of  the  east  wing  between  that  given 
to  the  State  University  and  that  allotted  to  the  Illinois  Normal 
University ;  covering  an  area  of  27  feet  by  39  feet.  The  Commis- 
sion provided  seventeen  excellent  oak  cases  with  glass  doors  for 
exhibiting  the  charts,  bound  volumes  and  specimens  of  natural 
history,  etc.  These  were  placed  east  and  west  facing  each  other, 
except  those  at  the  ends  with  ample  space  for  the  passage  of  vis- 
itors. In  the  center  of  this  open  space  were  placed  a  desk,  chairs, 
etc.,  for  the  use  of  the  several  attendants,  and  for  a  sort  of  head- 
quarters for  friends  of  the  school  who  desired  to  avail  themselves 
of  its  privileges.  Parallel  with  the  platform,  on  either  side,  were 
a  counter  and  show  case,  in  which  were  placed  bound  volumes,  and 
material  used  in  the  Training  School  for  illustrative  purposes.  The 
cases  were  arranged  in  two  distinct  groups,  one  for  the  Normal 
Department  the  other  for  the  Model  School. 

At  the  close  of  the  exposition  the  Commission  donated  to  the 
institution  these  cases,  which  have  been  of  great  value  to  the  school 
in  the  twenty  years  that  have  followed.

In  order  that  the  exhibit  should  be  in  the  care  of  responsible 
care-takers,  provision  was  made  for  two  to  be  on  the  ground  at 
all  times.  These  were  young  men  either  in  attendance  at  the  school 
at  the  time  or  were  former  students.  It  was  so  arranged  that  each 
one  served  two  weeks,  the  last  week  of  one  being  the  first  week  of 
the  other.  This  provision  prevailed  thru  the  entire  time. 

The  institution  has  much  pleasure  in  the  possession  of  a  hand- 
some medal  and  an  elaborate  diploma  awarded  her  on  account  of 
her  creditable  display  in  the  Centennial  Exposition. 

THE  LOUISIANA  PURCHASE  EXPOSITION 

This  third  and  last  exhibit  was  prepared  for  the  Exposition  held 
in  St.  Louis  in  1904,  under  the  special  direction  of  the  author  of 
this  Historical  Sketch,  and  under  the  general  supervision  of  Super- 
intendent Alfred  Bayliss.  In  some  respects  this  display  was  less 
pretentious  than  the  one  prepared  eleven  years  preceding.  More 
attention  was  given  to  a  collection  of  views  of  the  grounds,  build- 
ings, recitation  rooms,  laboratories,  groups  of  students  at  work,  etc. 

Among  the  special  attractions  were  plaster  models  of  the  three 
buildings  then  erected,  and  placed  on  a  large  map  of  the  campus, 
on  a  scale  somewhat  in  proportion  to  actual  measurements,  and 
located  in  their  respective  position,  showing  the  entire  plant  as 
a  whole. 

The  photographs  were  taken  very  largely  by  the  late  Professor 
Jacob  T.  Ellis,  then  Superintendent  of  the  Training  Department. 
State  Superintendent  Bayliss  gave  much  of  his  valuable  time  to 
the  entire  exhibit  of  the  state. 

While  there  were  many  unsatisfactory  features  in  connection 
with  these  exhibits  it  is  generally  conceded  that  much  value  accrued 
therefrom  and  the  cause  of  education  was  advanced  to  no  incon- 
siderable degree  at  each  time. 

EDUCATIONAL  CONDITIONS  OF  SOUTHERN 
ILLINOIS 

1874—1914 

At  the  time  of  the  opening  of  the  school  in  1874  the  status  of 
the  public  schools  was  far  from  ideal;  in  fact  they  were  farther 
from  being  ideal  than  in  any  other  portion  of  the  commonwealth. 
At  that  time  there  were  but  few  high  schools  in  this  end  of  the 
state,  and  they  were  as  far  behind  those  of  the  present  day  as 
the  graded  schools  of  that  day  were  behind  those  we  now  boast  of. 


49 

Without  doubt  the  effects  of  the  civil  war  in  Southern  Illinois 
was  more  marked  than  in  other  parts  of  the  state,  both  in  its  effects 
on  the  people  and  on  the  wealth  of  the  region.  The  two  combined 
to  bear  heavily  on  the  cause  of  general  education  within  its  bor- 
ders. It  was  no  easy  task  to  secure  ample  means  for  the  erection 
of  comfortable  and  attractive  school  buildings,  and  to  employ 
competent  teachers;  consequently,  when  the  normal  school  opened 
in  1874  it  was  confronted  with  the  task  of  adjusting  its  service  to 
the  needs  of  the  region  in  which  it  was  to  operate.  This  required 
tact  and  patience — two  rare  qualities  in  handling  school  problems, 
for  the  school  is  made  for  the  child  and  not  the  child  for  the 
school.  While  there  were  differences  of  opinion  as  to  how  best 
meet  these  needs,  there  was  agreement  as  to  the  aim  which  should 
prompt  the  activities  of  the  institution.  Doubtless  this  policy  may 
have  cost  the  school  some  prestige  in  some  quarters,  but  it  enabled 
many  young  people  to  avail  themselves  of  the  privileges  of  the 
equipment  and  the  instruction  of  such  a  school  who  otherwise 
would  have  not  enjoyed  so  favorable  an  opportunity  to  secure  an 
education. 

In  addition  to  the  above  facts  affecting  the  policy  of  the  institu- 
tion, the  attitude  of  the  school  toward  the  problem  of  how  best 
serve  the  children  of  the  colored  race  of  Southern  Illinois  was  a 
matter  of  no  little  import.  In  some  sections  of  the  state  it  would 
not  have  been  so  significant,  but  in  the  section  of  the  state  in 
such  close  proximity  to  the  region  where  race  prejudice  is  marked, 
it  was  a  serious  proposition,  and  it  was  necessary  to  handle  it  with 
unusual  care  and  wisdom. 

THE  CHURCHES  OF  CARBONDALE 

In  reviewing  these  matters  relating  to  the  effects  of  the  institu- 
tion on  the  educational  and  material  advancement  of  Southern 
Illinois  it  is  well  to  remember  that  many  other  agencies  have  con- 
tributed to  these  gratifying  returns.  The  churches  of  Carbondale 
have  co-operated  in  no  small  measure  to  the  upbuilding  of  the 
character  of  those  who  have  come  under  their  benign  influence. 
Those  who  have  directed  the  activities  of  the  institution  have 
recognized  the  helpfulness  of  these  religious  organizations  in  sup- 
plementing their  efforts  in  securing  the  fullest  development  of  the 
young  people  committed  to  their  care.

THE  CHRISTIAN  ASSOCIATIONS 

Among  the  agencies  that  have  contributed  in  no  uncertain  way 
to  the  general  tone  of  the  school,  even  from  the  very  early  years, 
are  the  Young  Men's  and  Young  Women's  Christian  Associations. 
These  have  been  potent  factors  in  keeping  before  the  student  body 
the  need  and  value  of  Christian  teaching  and  association  in  the 
formation  of  character  that  will  meet  the  demands  of  life  in  all 
its  phases.  This  has  been  accomplished  in  the  spirit  of  genuine 
helpfulness  in  many  ways,  and  devoid  of  offense  to  those  most 
sensitive  and  critical,  resulting  in  a  pronounced  advantage  to  those 
coming  under  this  influence  in  its  teachings  and  associations.  The 
State  College  Secretaries  have  included  Carbondale  in  their  tour 
of  annual  visitations  thruout  the  colleges  of  the  state,  and  have 
encouraged  and  instructed  the  young  people  in  their  labors  of 
brotherly  interest  and  fellowship  and  the  establishing  of  the  high- 
est type  of  Christian  character.

ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION 

The  Alumni  Association  now  numbers  681,  the  majority  of 
whom  are  progressive  and  potent  factors  in  the  educational  work 
of  the  country.  A  review  of  what  the  different  members  have 
accomplished  would  be  of  interest  to  the  reader,  but  space  in 
these  pages  precludes  anything  further  than  their  names  in  the 
order  of  their  graduation  and  the  number  of  years  taught  since 
that  date.  In  a  few  instances  the  institution  is  not  sure  of  their 
whereabouts ;  this  is  indicated  by  the  interrogation  point.  Their 
present  occupation  is  given  as  far  as  could  be  ascertained. 

The  officers  of  the  association  at  the  present  time  are  as 
follows:  President,  Prof.  Wm.  T.  Felts,  Carbondale;  vice-presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Lillian  Wyatt,  Salem ;  secretary,  Miss  Mary  Buchanan,

A  BRIEF  SUMMARY 

OF  THE  ALUMNI  DEATHS. 

Of  the  entire  number  who  have  graduated,  six  hundred  eighty- 
one,  fifty-three  have  died  as  shown  by  the  single  star  opposite  each 
name. 

MARRIAGES 

An  examination  of  the  list  exhibits  the  fact  that  thirty-five 
couples  decided  to  make  the  voyage  of  life  together.  In  nine  of 
these  unions  the  contracting  parties  are  classmates.  Not  less  than 
seventy  other  graduates  married  those  who  did  not  complete  a 
full  course  of  study,  hence  their  names  do  not  appear  in  the  list. 

OTHER  VOCATIONS 

While  the  institution  is  a  normal  school  and  a  large  majority 
of  those  who  have  graduated  have  taught  for  a  greater  or  less  time, 
a  few  have  gone  into  other  professions  and  lines  of  effort  and  made 
for  themselves  enviable  reputations  in  .their  several  fields. 

Of  those  who  have  taught  fifteen  years  or  more — one  as  high 
as  thirty-two  years,  there  are  fifty-three. 

Served  in  other  professions  as  follows: 

County  Superintendents 12 

Clergymen 8 

Bankers 12 

Political  Leaders 10 

Lawyers 29 

Physicians 22 

Dentists 3 

Members  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution  from  one  term  to 
seventeen  years 33
